The Conversation Africa<p>Nigerians went to the polls in late February to vote. There were over 93 million registered voters. But only a little over 25 million people voted. Political scientist Chikodiri Nwangwu unpacks what happened.</p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/nigeria-had-93-million-registered-voters-but-only-a-quarter-voted-5-reasons-why-201875" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/nigeria-ha</span><span class="invisible">d-93-million-registered-voters-but-only-a-quarter-voted-5-reasons-why-201875</span></a></p><p><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/nigeria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nigeria</span></a> <br><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/nigeriadecides2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nigeriadecides2023</span></a> <br><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>election</span></a></p>

Pauline von Hellermann<p>Just wondering whether you can be confident about reporting exceptionally low voter turn out (only 29%) , when anecdotally and from many polling booths there is a lot of evidence of very high voter turnout <span class="h-card"><a href="https://squeet.me/profile/aljazeera" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>aljazeera</span></a></span> ? </p><p>Could this not be the result of undercounting votes, as Bolanle mentions? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/NigeriaDecides2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NigeriaDecides2023</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/3/1/nigeria-election-results-live-tinubu-declared-winner" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/20</span><span class="invisible">23/3/1/nigeria-election-results-live-tinubu-declared-winner</span></a></p>
Pauline von Hellermann<p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/NigeriaDecides2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NigeriaDecides2023</span></a> apologies for sharing from twtr, doing this only because <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Nigeria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nigeria</span></a> not yet so active on here. This interview with Bolanle Olukanni is very good. I hope the international community will continue to listen to Nigerians dismayed at the failures of the electoral process, and will help ensure a fair outcome at the <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/court" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>court</span></a> where <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/PeterObi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterObi</span></a> is taking this now.

Pauline von Hellermann<p>Just a quick update on the <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Nigeria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nigeria</span></a> elections. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Tinubu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tinubu</span></a> of <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/APC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APC</span></a> has been declared the winner by <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/INEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>INEC</span></a> but many, many, many people are convinced the election results were completely rigged and the elections should be rerun. I've pasted in this Twitter thread as one example of what people are saying. Not qualified to assess all this, but the situation is not great to say the least. </p><p> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/NigeriaDecides2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NigeriaDecides2023</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/status/1630876001826664448?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/stat</span><span class="invisible">us/1630876001826664448?s=20</span></a></p>

Pauline von Hellermann<p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/NigeriaDecides2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NigeriaDecides2023</span></a> i am hearing some cautious optimism that <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/PeterObi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterObi</span></a> and the amazing <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Obidient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obidient</span></a> movement might indeed pull it off (lots of worries about <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/rigging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rigging</span></a> attempts).
